"I Don't...": Ruben Amorim Gives Cold Response Over Marcus Rashford's Manchester United Future
Ruben Amorim says he does not know if unsettled Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford will leave Old Trafford before the transfer window closes.

"He (Palmer) is improving a lot but not just in terms of numbers of goals and assists," said Maresca, whose fourth-placed side will continue their bid to qualify for the Champions League away to faltering English title-holders Manchester City on Saturday.
